Michigan Canine Influenza Clinics

We became aware and wanted to share!

Due to the recent canine influenza outbreak, If your dog is exposed to other dogs at daycare/boarding, grooming, dog parks ect. you may want to consider if vaccinating against the flu it the right choice for you and your pup. To learn more about the Canine Flu, please read American Veterinary Medical Association Canine Influenza FAQ and Pet Owners Guide. Please consult your veterinarian for more info about this flu and vaccine.

A few Michigan Veterinarians are hosting immunization clinics for dogs. Some boarding/daycare facilities are requiring the vaccination. We have compiled the clinics, for informational purposes, that we know of. CLICK HERE FOR THE CLINICS AND LOCATIONS.
